Custom Timber Frame Home – Andilly, Geneva border (Haute-Savoie)

Timber & aluminium architectural home in Andilly, Haute-Savoie.

Contemporary architecture, authentic timber warmth, and sweeping alpine vistas.

Nestled on a scenic hillside in the village of Andilly (just minutes from the Geneva border), this 170 sq m (1,830 sq ft) custom residence embodies the Vision Bois philosophy: tailored architecture in deep harmony with the alpine landscape and the homeowners' lifestyle. Built with a high-performance timber frame, it blends rough-sawn larch cladding with traditional lime plaster rendering for a subtle, elegant integration into the surrounding mountain setting.

A distinctive blend of architectural refinement and technical excellence:

• Architectural aluminium joinery and motorized external venetian blinds
• Generous open volumes, airy mezzanine, and dramatic double-height ceilings
• Walkable architectural glass floor panel and contemporary designer railings
• Dual-aspect open living areas flooded with natural light throughout the day
• Seamless indoor-outdoor continuity thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass walls
• A cantilevered timber deck that naturally extends the interior living spaces toward the panoramic view

Every detail, from the bespoke solid timber entrance door to the exposed post-and-beam joinery, reflects meticulous craftsmanship and architectural precision. Timber expresses itself here across every dimension: as a structural backbone, a protective high-performance envelope, and an organic medium capturing natural light and warmth.
